It is truly my honor to be a part of this PPA (Professional Photographers of America) See The Difference campaign. I have heard so many disheartening stories from Brides who wish that they had followed their gut instinct when it came to choosing their wedding photographer…even when their wallet may have slightly disagreed. I am certainly not one to influence or persuade people to make a choice that they are uncomfortable with. That said, I do encourage Brides to think long term. The expense of a wedding is one of the biggest price tags of many couples lives…consider the items that stay with you forever. It’s not the lobster and filet mignon dinner or the exclusivity of the over the top venue…it’s the wedding photography. I encourage Brides to truly contemplate how important this piece of the wedding puzzle is to you? If it doesn’t rank at the top of your list…fair enough…splurge on the catering and the venue or better yet the honeymoon! But if it does rank at the top of your priority list…please don’t let it fall by the wayside! Do your research and find the perfect photographer for you. This is one investment that I don’t think too many people regret. In fact, the only regrets that I hear of are the Brides who let this priority fall short. It breaks my heart when that happens. Your wedding photographer truly does make a difference.

July 28, 2010{Walk The Shot} Shana Cawley
July 27, 2010I opened an e-mail from a gal who was super enthusiastic about my workshop. I think her excitement made me even more excited! She needed a little time to fit it into her schedule. In the meantime, we stayed in touch. Each time my monthly newsletter would go out she would remind me how anxious she was for her turn to come around. Well…her turn is almost here! On August 7th us two Southern gals will team up for Shana’s {Walk The Shot} workshop. I can’t wait to see her! I am hoping that she might grab me a basket of fresh Georgia peaches on her way down. ;-) To. Die. For.
School of Photography
July 22, 2010Hello Michigan! I am heading your way soon. I am so honored to have been asked to speak at the School of Photography in Grand Rapids on August 31st. I am completely stoked to meet many of you there! I love putting a face to a name. You may have seen an excerpt of my “Be Invested In Your Clients” approach in last months PPA magazine. I am going to share with y’all the full version of that mentality and why there is simply no other acceptable option for me.
For Angela…the answer to many of her questions unknowingly stared her in the face for many years. You see, she and John’s sister are best friends so she and John have been a part of each others lives for many years far before they fell in love. It wasn’t until John’s sister got married that Angela suddenly viewed John as “the one” instead of as her best friends little brother. The most beautiful part of all is that they already had an amazing friendship so naturally the path to love shortly followed.
